Social resilience through pluralism as Singapore's centre of gravity against the impact of terrorism. by Lee, Wee Leong.

“…In this case of Singapore, this paper argues that Singapore’s real weapon against terrorism, and the terror it seeks to inflict, is its social resilience. It is posited here that given the Singapore government’s emphasis on building the social resilience of its people, especially in promoting pluralism, this center of gravity (COG) would even have prevented, or at the very least, withstood another violent reaction between the races as intended by the JI, even if the plot had succeeded, as alluded to in the article at the beginning of this paper.…”

International listing : the case of creative technology by Gee, Wai Hoo, Lim, Ngan Kim, Ong, Hwee Eng

“…In particular, the Singapore domestic economy is too small for local firms ever to be profitable if they were to concentrate their efforts here. In our project, we attempt to evaluate the performance of a local firm, Creative Technology, who has listed its shares on the US Nasdaq stock exchange as part of its internationalization strategy. …”

Xenophobia in Singapore : understanding the causes and nature of negative attitudes towards foreign professionals by Chew, Jing Rui

“…While tensions and anxiety levels have risen especially in times of economic setbacks, it is undeniable that foreigners are here to stay as Singapore relies heavily on foreign labour for both low wage and high value work due to its small population size. …”

Advances in electrokinetics and their applications in micro/nano fluidics by Zhao, Cunlu, Yang, Chun

“…Electrokinetic phenomena originally developed in colloid chemistry have drawn great attention in micro- and nano-fluidic lab-on-a-chip systems for manipulation of both liquids and particles. Here we present an overview of advances in electrokinetic phenomena during recent decades and their various applications in micro- and nano-fluidics. …”

‘Welcome to favelas, but in Italy’: urban precariousness, right-wing ideology and phatic nihilism on social media by Levy, Helton

“…Exploratory results suggest a few formulaic, though elliptic, ways of manipulating audiences for crypto-ideological purposes mainly leaning to the right, theorised here as phatic nihilism.…”

Soft cells and the geometry of seashells by Domokos, G, Goriely, A, Horváth, ÁG, Regős, K

“…An important question is then to relate prototypical sharp tilings to softer natural shapes. Here, we solve this problem by introducing a new class of shapes, the soft cells, minimizing the number of sharp corners and filling space as soft tilings. …”

A scaling law to model the effectiveness of identification techniques by Rocher, L, Hendrickx, JM, Montjoye, YD

“…However, quantifying their effectiveness at scale and, by extension, the risks they pose remains a significant challenge. Here, we propose a two-parameter Bayesian model for exact matching techniques and derive an analytical expression for correctness (κ), the fraction of people accurately identified in a population. …”

TCR/CD3-based synthetic antigen receptors (TCC) convey superior antigen sensitivity combined with high fidelity of activation by Mühlgrabner, V, Peters, T, Velasco Cárdenas, RMH, Siller Farfan, J, Dushek, O

“…Low antigen sensitivity and a gradual loss of effector functions limit the clinical applicability of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)–modified T cells and call for alternative antigen receptor designs for effective T cell–based cancer immunotherapy. Here, we applied advanced microscopy to demonstrate that TCR/CD3-based synthetic constructs (TCC) outperform second-generation CAR formats with regard to conveyed antigen sensitivities by up to a thousandfold. …”

Reconstructing D-cap from p-adic Hodge theory by Wiersig, F

“…A key result in this thesis is establishing a bimodule structure on the overconvergent de Rham period structure sheaf over D-cap and the overconvergent de Rham period sheaf. Here, D-cap denotes the sheaf of infinite order differential operators introduced by Ardakov-Wadsley; notably, the analogous statement does not hold for Scholze’s de Rham period sheaf. …”

Lowering in-memory footprint of antenna beams via polynomial approximation by Taqi, A, Adámek, K, Gueuning, Q, Serylak, M, Laing, R, Armour, W

“…A novel prototype is reported here to approximate antenna beams suitable for SKA-MID using Zernike polynomials. …”

Lifting the concentration limit of mass photometry by PEG nanopattering by Kratochvil, J, Asor, R, Helmi, S, Struwe, W, Kukura, P

“…The underlying measurement principle provides numerous advantages over ensemble-based methods but has been limited to low analyte concentrations due to the need to uniquely and accurately quantify the binding of individual molecules to the measurement surface, which results in diffraction-limited spots. Here, we combine nanoparticle lithography with surface PEGylation to dramatically lower surface binding, resulting in a two-order magnitude improvement in the upper concentration limit associated with mass photometry. …”
